NOTE: The Birthday of the man who's ID they used is Sept. 11th! Too much to be a coincidence?

[I still care]

From what I understand, once you get on this list, it is almost impossible to get off.

Don't they bear some resemblance?



Na! Just kidding....

After talking to the Social Security Administration, the U.S. Treasury, the FBI, lawyers, and local police, Allen said that he is still not sure how to clear his name.

I take it the fact that he is a 19 year old Caucasian male, who bears absolutely no resemblence to Bin al-Shibh, is not enough for the folks in these various agencies?

That's one helluva clever disguise...

No, it's not too much to be a coincidence. The probability of anyone having a birthday on one particular date is not all that large.

Gee, it's a darn good thing that people's social security account number isn't used for identification.

Strange! That means that Ryan, age 19, hasn't "used" his SSN in more than two years. He hasn't gotten a pay check, applied for college, gotten a passport, paid federal/state local taxes, earned interest or dividends, opened an account or done any of the normal things that should have caused this transaction a long time ago. Very strange!! In fact, I don't believe it. There must be more to it.

This is a significant finding. This confirms that there was overt ID swapping going on. It's a two way street. Once the 9/11 gang got a hold of others' ID's they could portray themselves as having Anglo names, for example. Very interesting. Also, the Arabic names linked to the stolen US IDs might themselves have been swapped in. This raises the question, once again, regarding the true countries of origin of the hijackers. Were they perhaps Iraqis, Syrians and / or Iranians, in point of fact?

Gov't agencies do *very little* to prevent identity theft.......& even less to help any citizen who is a victim of this crime.

[DumpsterDiver]

That was enough to peak Allen's curiosity.

Nothing like having your curiosity peaked.

Hummm, at the birth of social security one of the major arguments against the program was that everyone would be forced to have a number and that one day it might be used by the government as some sort of mandatory ID. The dems scoffed at those fears and assured the public that would never happen.
